Dartmouth High graduate Arthur Lynch had top-10 positional finishes in four drills at the NFL Combine held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday.

A First-Team All-SEC pick from the University of Georgia, the 6-foot-5, 258-pound Lynch tied for second among tight ends after benchpressing 225 pounds 28 times, and he finished sixth in the 20-yard shuttle with a time of 4.35 seconds. He tied for sixth in the broad jump with a leap of 116 inches, tied for seventh with a time of 7.38 seconds in the three-cone drill and finished 11th in the 40-yard dash in 4.82 seconds.

"Today I was able to live out a dream," Lynch tweeted from his @alynch1788 account. "Thank you to all who helped out up to this point."

Lynch graded out with a pre-workout 5.1 rating on a scale of 10.0, a score that left him with a better than average chance to be drafted, according to NFL.com.

Tight ends, offensive linement and special teams players performed on Saturday. The combine continues today with quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers. Defensive linemen and linebackers go on Monday, followed by defensive backs on Tuesday.
